But they didn't, why? Is the lure of being "special", "God's unique move on earth" enough to cause someone to ignore the NT admonitions, and if so, shouldn't "how WL deceived the LRC" be a major focus when looking at WL's teachings? I would think so, and therefore 1Cor 5:11 is critical to prove that WL did deceive.
Yes, I agree. I would say that the nature of the LRC changed when saints decided it was OK to overlook fornication, covetousness, idolatry and extortion. I would also say the nature of the LRC changed when saints stopped being guided by the admonitions of the Apostle's in the NT. Therefore, 1Cor 5:11 becomes critical to demonstrating that the nature had changed.

ZNP, weren't you there too? Didn't
we all wear blinders while we were there, at least in regard to a lot of things?
